Sunday in Monaco
Sunday 7th September 2014
Visited the Oceanographic museum in the morning, followed by lunch at the surprisingly good restaurant on their rooftop terrace. Then the Palais Princier in the early afternoon, before heading back to the hotel for a swim. In the evening we went to the very lively Brasserie de Monaco for dinner.

Breakfasts on the terrace at the Monte Carlo Bay are always a highlight for us.

The playground on the roof terrace. It was just a bit too hot up here to be out of the shade for more than a few minutes at a time!

Couldn't take the buggy (or photos) inside so Chie and I took it in turns whilst the other waited outside with Erika, who was happily dozing under a shady tree.

15:02:13
Changing of the guard.

15:02:27

16:01:47
This is actually over the border into France, next to our hotel, as we wanted to have a quick look at the little beach there.

19:16:36
After another swim, in the evening we headed out to Brasserie de Monaco, which brews its own beer.

Barbajuans, a speciality of Monaco.
